Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 20y 8m 6d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 30/10/14 01:42 AM Share Posted 30/10/14 01:42 AM I read this thread with interest as some good points are raised.I currently run a surge with an 044 pump. The pump becomes increasingly noisieronce ambient temp increases above 30 degrees even when the car is given no stick.It has the sound deadening upgrade fitted but still sounds like a nest of angry beesonce the under bonnet temps rise. On the dyno there are no apparent issues with fuel deliverydespite back to back to back runs once warm within 5rwkwClearly to me at least there is a direct relationship between fuel temp and pump noise.Maybe the pump is struggling, that said a quieter in tank is worth investigating given I am running a nancy 350 rwkw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a limit to how many pumps you can control, or stage? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
